Just got back from a great weekend at Norwalk. Thanks to everyone who stopped to say "hello".

I had Mike Garblik pose with me to pretend that I was a Boss Bird crew member. In any case, all bearing inserts continue to survive in perfect condition, so the oiling system changes were successful. Eric didn't yet make it into the fives, but made a couple of impressive low-six passes. Traction on the 140 degree track was an issue for the funny car.

I wasn't surprised that Ed Page won "best engineered" with the raVen.

I TOOK A PRETTY GOOD PICTURE OF YOU AND MIKE,...……….LOL!!!

Jack wanted to be commemorated as a honorary crew member on the Boss Bird, and asked me to take a picture of the two of them.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
